tail,stat: improve support for the IBRIX file system
Note that IBRIX used to have a different magic number 0x013111A7
instead of the current 0x013111A8. However, the former is no longer
used and the version of IBRIX it was used in is really ancient, so
it's extremely unlikely anyone is still using it. Therefore, just
add the newer magic number.
Mark IBRIX as a 'remote' file system type as inotify support had
never been officially tested with it.

tee: add --write-error to control handling of closed pipes
tee is very often used with pipes and this gives better control
when writing to them. There are 3 classes of file descriptors
that tee can write to: files(1), pipes(2), and early close pipes(3).
Handling write errors to 1 & 2 is supported at present with the caveat
that failure writing to any pipe will terminate tee immediately.
Handling write errors to type 3 is not currently supported.
To improve the supported combinations we add these options:
--write-error=warn
Warn if error writing any output including pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any output had error.
--write-error=warn-nopipe, -p
Warn if error writing any output except pipes.
Allows continued writing to still open files/pipes.
Exit status is failure if any non pipe output had error.
--write-error=exit
Exit if error writing any output including pipes.
--write-error=exit-nopipe
Exit if error writing any output except pipes.
Use the "nopipe" variants when files are of types 1 and 3, otherwise
use the standard variants with types 1 and 2. A caveat with the above
scheme is that a combination of pipe types (2 & 3) is not supported
robustly. I.e. if you use the "nopipe" variants when using both type
2 and 3 pipes, then any "real" errors on type 2 pipes will not be
diagnosed.
Note also a general issue with type 3 pipes that are not on tee's
stdout, is that shell constructs don't allow to distinguish early
close from real failures. For example `tee >(head -n1) | grep -m1 ..`
can't distinguish between an error or an early close in "head" pipe,
while the fail on the grep part of the pipe is distinguished
independently from the resulting pipe errors. This is a general
issue with the >() construct, rather than with tee itself.

du: handle sub-bind-mount cycles gracefully
This patch fixes the handling of sub-bind-mount cycles which are
incorrectly detected as the file system errors. If you bind mount the
directory 'a' to its subdirectory 'a/b/c' and then run 'du a/b' you
will get the circular dependency warning even though nothing is wrong
with the file system. This happens because the first directory that is
traversed twice in this case is not a bind mount but a child of bind
mount. The solution is to traverse all the directories in the cycle
that fts detected and check whether they are not a (bind) mount.
